CLERKS 2 isn’t just everything a perfect sequel should be, it’s everything a superb film should be, too. Right on top of the zeitgeist, and fiendishly clever in it commentary on it, it skewers political correctness within a profane framework that unwaveringly champions middle class values with an infectious elan. It picks up with the eponymous… Read More »
Tim Allen & Michael Lembeck Invoke THE SANTA CLAUS 2
Though the result may be so much cinematic cotton candy, the process of making THE SANTA CLAUS II was anything but all sweetness and light for its star Tim Allen.

After a wake-up call that came before dawn and a full day of interviews, including one on a cold and windy pier overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, they were still full of energy and psyched to… Read More »
Brian O’Halloran & Jeff Anderson are CLERKS 2
June 15, 2006, the day I spoke with Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson about CLERKS 2, the sequel to Kevin Smith’s indie cult classic, CLERKS, was marked by a tremor at 5am. Brian had been lathering up in the shower (as he put it), Jeff had been sleeping peacefully, and they were both disappointed to… Read More »
